Verified purchase - review from a price comparison website
Summing up, it is not a bad monitor for work (terminals, browser) or for occasional gaming (XBox). The only major problem is the black, for this price I expected better solved "backlight bleeding".
I had similar problems with OSD menu and input autodetection with my old Dell monitor, it's hard to say how much is Linux and how much is the monitor.
beautiful fine resolution
unexpectedly, the backlight (ambiglow) is sometimes useful as a replacement for a lamp, it improves reading
input autodetection doesn't work the best (Linux-powered DP/HDMI often doesn't catch after waking up, after disabling autodetection it works better, but still not great)
can't see black (you can't really see black, you have to turn down the brightness and even then it's different shades of grey; it's probably "backlight bleeding", so it's a technology problem, probably pressing piece by piece)
The OSD menu works strangely - even after more than a week I haven't gotten used to it (sometimes changing a parameter changes other things; with switching the XBox to HDR the backlight is regularly switched on, I turn it off every time and it still doesn't remember; switching the input when there is no signal sometimes fails, because the monitor manages to "fall asleep",. )
